    What does 30amp fuse S164 do and where exacty is the fuse pump & relay alocated?

    Correction/Update. I Do hear the fuel pump running while I'm turning over the engine. So I guess that likely means the fuel system including relay are fine. So now I really have to figure out what the burned out fuse and fuse holder location is really for. I still can't reference to fuse...

    What does 30amp fuse S164 do and where exacty is the fuse pump & relay alocated?

    My '98 A3 car all of a sudden won't start (though turns over nicely). With the fuel pump access cover removed, should I be able to hear the fuel pump at all? I don't hear anything from it even when I'm turning the engine over. I don't have extensive documentation on the car but I do have...

    98 A3 with AGU engine: are people putting in boost gauges?

    Nope, got sucked up bright and early Saturday morning into the black hole known as FIRST Robotics competition where I mentor a high school team and it's been a constant user of my free time throughout this entire week. I doubt I'll get to it now until the robot is built and tested out thoroughly...

    MPG?

    wow, that's really bad. If that's real world accurate, I'd try to find out why BEFORE you spend money on a remap only to learn you have something else going on more worthy of your $$$$$ to addre$$.

    I need the service table for a '98 Audi A3.

    I don't have a service manual for the car so I don't know what Audi recommended doing and at what mileage. I thought for sure I could google one on the internet somewhere but so far no luck. Anyone know where one is? The car has over 116,000 miles on it now and I don't have the detailed...

    Is a stock 150hp AGU engine even worth remapping?

    I guess I should ask, what engine in the States best matches the AGU block for mapping purposes? You won't find ANY AGU anything here in the US.

    I mean, if you have no intention of doing any other mods, is the difference really "funner" if you are just using it as a commuter car? Will a stock AGU really get a lot more lower end grunt and acceleration and would that put a strain on the stock parts like the clutch? Is the remapping add...

    98 A3 with AGU engine: are people putting in boost gauges?

    Yep, I could use a picture of exactly where you T'd into and where/how you routed into the car, how u secured it, etc. The links are interesting and helpful. Plus, what pressures are you getting for the typical operational situations (idle, moderate acceleration, full acceleration, etc)?
